In wordpress, is there a way that I could pull a thumbnail image of an embedded .swf file from a post? The .swf file is an embedded game and I want a small 130x97px image to show for each post excerpt on the index page. There must be a simple call to make this happen, but I can't find a resource on it anywhere. Any ideas would be great.
 


You'd need to run a browser that loads the swf and then save a screenshot of a browser. This can be automated, but there's no way of doing it within wordpress that I'm aware of.

Ok thanks. I guess I'll just have to do it the old fashioned way and use the Feature Image function.
